Zona Rosa is a Celebration of traditional Mexican food from Chef Ivan Garcia

CHEF IVAN GARCIA developed his reverence for traditional Mexican cooking while growing up in a multi-generational home in his native Mexico City. As a small boy, Garcia would stand on a chair in his family's kitchen, watching and helping his grandmother and mother cook elaborate dishes for the family. While many chefs use Mexican cuisine as a means of combining flavors to do "modern" style Mexican food, Garcia's great respect for the ingredients and processes found in traditional Mexican cooking are illustrated in both his approach to executing a recipe and developing his own creations.
